Sandia Crest Rosy Finches 2011

These images were all taken at the Crest House, on Sandia Crest above Albuquerque, NM. Most were thru the windows as there was a 40-50 mph wind blowing while we were up there, which made it near impossible to even stand up on the deck. We had a wonderful experience with the Finches, as the bad weather had them coming to the feeding station in much larger numbers than the few days previous.

The quality of most of the photos was hampered by shooting thru the windows, but I'm just throwing a bunch of images out here of these birds that most of us don't get to see very often (practically never in my case...)
